About this House

What's unique:Wooded acreageGradual topographyOverall privacyWooded landscapeMarketable timberSurrounding rural area

This 24.7± acre tract in southern Person County offers a blend of privacy, recreational use, and convenient access to nearby amenities. Located just minutes from Roxboro and approximately 24 miles from Durham, the property provides a rural setting with easy access to employment, shopping, dining, and services.

The land features gently rolling topography and is predominantly wooded, offering both natural beauty and long-term timber value. The tract was professionally planted in 1995 and has not been harvested, resulting in a stand of mature timber that may provide future income opportunities. The wooded acreage also contributes to the overall privacy and natural character of the land.

For those interested in outdoor recreation, the property offers habitat that may support wildlife commonly found in this region of North Carolina. The wooded landscape and surrounding rural area provide opportunities for hunting, wildlife observation, and general outdoor enjoyment. The size and layout of the tract allow flexibility for a range of uses, including recreational ownership, timber investment, or a potential homesite.

In addition to its recreational appeal, the property offers convenient access to nearby communities. Roxboro, the county seat of Person County, provides grocery stores, restaurants, retail services, and everyday amenities. The property is also within driving distance of Durham, a larger regional employment and cultural center offering expanded dining, medical services, entertainment, and transportation options. Travel access is further supported by the nearby Person County Airport, which provides general aviation services for the region.

A recent soils evaluation completed by a licensed septic engineer determined that the property is suitable for an engineered (alternative) septic system utilizing surface drip or spray irrigation. The evaluation identified two potential locations on the property for system placement. Final system design and permitting would be completed by a future owner based on intended use and home specifications.

Seller financing is available for qualified buyers with 20% down, providing additional flexibility for those seeking to secure this property without traditional bank financing.

Properties of this size and location in southern Person County are increasingly limited, particularly those offering both privacy and proximity to Roxboro and the greater Durham area. This tract presents an opportunity for buyers seeking recreational land with future homesite potential supported by engineered septic design.

Cates Mill Rd #1, Roxboro, NC 27574 is a lot/land. It last sold for $124,000 on Jun 30, 2026 (1% below the $124,990 asking price). This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia.

I am a past student of Helena elementary the school it self is wonderful but certain teachers/subs may not be the best fit in my time at Helena I had three teachers hit me one being a sub the others being permanent staff members. When I reported this to the principal I was told that I should get to know them and it wasn't serious enough to check the camera footage. I'm not saying you shouldn't send your kids here but if they tell you something please believe it.

"I’ve lived here all my life. Even though it is a small town you will enjoy it. There aren’t as many job opportunities as there would be in a bigger town but the smallness pays off. "

"I am relocating to this area from NJ. It is just enough quiet but it also is not out of the way of community involvement. The larger city of Durham where the malls and night life are accessible is a plus."
